Je'Niece McCullough says she hopes renaming the street Bernie Mac
Street reminds people "they can do whatever they want to do in
life."
Mac, born Bernard McCullough, died in August 2008 at
age 50 from pneumonia complications, after suffering from sarcoidosis, an
autoimmune disease.
The comedian is best known for his stand-up
performance in the Original Kings of Comedy, a tour that showcased several
popular contemporary black comedians, and the hit comedy series "The Bernie Mac
Show."
That’s great
R.I.P
Bernie!
